I have somewhat recently become totally lactose intolerant — as in, no butter, no cheese, no yogurt, and nothing dairy. I'm totally opposed to relying on drugs to allow me to eat something my body clearly doesn't want to digest, so I've been experimenting with vegan cooking.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Vegan Burger
This recipe makes ingenious use of portabello mushrooms. An all-too-expected ingredient in unsophisticated vegetarian cuisine, the portabello mushroom often replaces a burger patty. Not so with this burger.
Summer of Salads: A Different Taco Salad
In the past week, San Francisco's seen some of the hottest days of the year. Which is why when a friend came over for lunch, I suggested we make a big, chilled salad with a cooling dressing to top it off. I chose taco salad: not the traditional kind with a fried tostada bowl and ground beef, but a lighter, meatless version with a creamy cilantro, cucumber, and avocado dressing.
You'll Never Miss the Meat: Conscious Cook Cookbook
We know that eating less meat is a good thing — it reduces your carbon footprint, lowers your grocery bill, and makes sense for your heart. But does it taste good? Vegetarian diets are often associated with a bland menu of tofu, sprouts, and brown rice day after day.
White Bean Escarole Soup
Winter is the time for soup! And hearty ones like this White Bean Escarole Soup. Not only is soup a great way to start a meal if you are dieting, since the liquid can be filling, but this soup can become a meal unto itself because bean are a great source of protein.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Jamaican Curried Tempeh Tacos
Just because a meal is meatless doesn't mean it can't be filled with flavor. This vegan recipe is jam-packed with tropical seasonings and varied textures. The onions and tempeh are slightly caramelized before being coated in cilantro, curry powder, and fresh ginger.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Bulgur With Leeks and Swiss Chard
Bulgur, the grain common to tabouleh, makes a scrumptious staple in this quick vegan recipe. Leafy green Swiss chard provides nutrients, while mushrooms add an earthy heartiness to the one-pot dish. Although the recipe is simple, the flavors are rich and filling.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Avocado Mango Salad
Let's celebrate Earth Day by making a healthy, vegan-friendly meal with earth grown vegetables. For an eco friendly dinner, purchase the greens, avocados, and mango at your local farmers market. A quick vinaigrette — made with passion fruit juice concentrate, dijon mustard, and Sherry vinegar — dresses this scrumptious salad.
Low Fat Banana Bread with Chocolate, Cherries and Walnuts
I had two very large, very rotten bananas sitting on my kitchen counter. When life gives you rotten bananas you make banana bread (or smoothies, but I was in a baking mood).
I wanted to try to make a low fat version and I found this non-fat version, but since I added chocolate and it also contains nuts the entire package has some fat in it.
Today's Special: Lemony Lentil–Spinach Stew
I used to believe that a stew had to bubble on the stove all day and be full of tender, falling apart meat chunks. After I ate at the Moroccan restaurant Aziza, here in San Francisco, I realized that a stew can be made in under 40 minutes and be absolutely delicious without the meat. In our attempt to cover more vegetarian and vegan recipes here on YumSugar, I thought a hearty warm vegetable stew would be a perfect addition to the collection.
